I have a friend who lives far, far away, and we haven't seen eachother for a looooong time. We don't talk very often - we usually communicate through annual christmas letters, keeping us up to date on important happenings in eachothers lives. But a lot can happen from one christmas to the next.

A long, long time ago I accidentally promised to knit her a baby sized Norwegian sweater if she ever became a mom. A few years ago the christmas letter contained the photo of a cute, little boy, and I remembered my promise. Things take time in my universe, but this year I had decided to finish a small sweater in time for christmas. That's why I've been knitting this. Two sleeves down, one body to go.

BUT what showed upp in my mailbox a beautiful october morning, long before christmas letter season? A photo of a small, newborn boy!

OMG... can I manage to make two before Christmas??? *running off to revise my christmas knitting list*
